THE WICHITA SCHOOL FOR BOYS

A representative of the EAGLE had a
pleasant chat Yesterday with Mr. Edgar
B. HAMMOND, who is associated with Mr.
Arthur Lefevre in the conduct of private
school for boys; and we think some of the
information thus gained would prove
interesting to many of our readers. These
gentlemen are graduates of the University
of Virginia, and are enthusiastic in the
occupation which they have selected for
the work of their lives They have come
here with the determination Of building up
a boys high school which shall be the
equal of similar schools in the New Eng
land and other eastern states, and from
our interview with Mr.. Raymond we have
no doubt that they will succeed in their
undertaking They now use for their school
two rooms in Mr.. Lefevre's resi-
dence, 1907, Y. Water, or one square
from the street cars; but are having rooms
fitted up near the corner Of Oak and Mark
ct, and expect TO enter their new quarters
in a few wesks.
The number of pupils will be limited TO
thirty, and it is needless 70 dwell upon the
advantages of a school with two competent
teachers and no more than thirty boys;
there is 40 other boys school in the city:
there Is. we believe. no other school in the
city in which even one teacher has so small
q number Of pupils as thirty. Ia this
school careful instruction i given in ali
the literary and scientific branches Of a
liberal education, and an admirable prep
aration may be had for business, college
or university career.
Among the gentlemen who have found
it wise TO avail themselves Of the advan-
tages offered by this school. may be men
toned Rev Charles J. Adams, Messrs
George L. Douglass, Bond, Corn, Toler
Col. 3. H Campbell, Judge LAuck, and
Of hers

THE Fl. SCOTT FIRE.
A Terrible Calamity to our Sister city of the
Border.

Conductor Hayden, Of the Missouri Paci-
fiC, whose train was three or four hours
late. and who did not leave Fit. Scott until
near eleven o'clock, kindly brought us the
first details of the terrible calamity which
overlook that city yesterday, the afternoon
dispatch being but a few meagre words
with the wires all down shortly after. The
fire originated during the high wind Of the
morning from oil which leaked from tank
car standing beside the Goodlander mills.
The tank of oil was for the gas works. Ia
leaking out il ran down under and through
the foundation OF the mill until it reached
the fire Of the furnace room. when in an
instance the blaze spread back 70 the tank.
The mill in a moment was wrapt in flames
from which it spread quickly to adjoining
buildings The oil in the meantime ral
down into the creek converting into a
flowing stream Of fire which by almost
superhuman efforts was damned up TO
stop its further progress. The FIRE was
still raging when Conductor Hayden's
train left, and for a long ways our be could
still see a great column Of ascending
smoke.

NARLOWE WINS.

Despite the cold weather quite large
crowd witnessed the race yesterday be-
tween MARROW and Nellie 3. a. Davidson
park. The judges Were the well known
horsemen, l.. II. Lapham, Frank Mason
and T. Struble
The race was called promptly at 3 o'clock.
NARROW was given the pole The start for
the first heat was gained with but little
scoring MARROW was about one length
ahead at the word ''go" and gradually
gained to the finish, coming in winner by
three lengths.
The second in start, and finish very
much resembled the first 1t was thought
that Nellie b. would have won the heat
had she not pulled a shoe on entering the
home stretch.
The call for the third heat was witnessed
by more enthusiasm than any previous one.
After spending some time scoring the word
was given with Nellie b in the lead. Mar
lowe at the first quarter was u neck ahead
and at the end of the first half M1rlOwe
was about two lengths ahead. At this
point Nellie B. commenced gaining and
entering the home stretch she was leading
near four lengths Marlowe commenced
gaining and just before reaching the wire
was 4 half length behind when Nellie 3.
broke and went under a neck ahead, There
was considerable excitement at the time,
some claiming that AIarlowe should be
given the heat. Ike judges, after 2 few
minutes consultation, gave the heat to
Nellie.
The start on the fourth heat gave Mar
low near a length ahead. This was Sc
verely hooted by some numbers of the
crowd and by Nellie b. betting friends
The race was won that way, however, and
Nellie was almost distanced. There was
considerable kicking over the heat, but
NARROW time was mitch better than any
other heat and the judges decided that the
heat WAS fair one.
The following shows scoring and time:

Mr.. Wheeler, owner of Nellie b, had
little TO say yesterday, and dropped his

W. c. T. { NOTES.

The interest felt in the W. c. [. T. baby
was indicated by the unusually large at
tendance at the meeting Tuesday. Mrs
H. L. Mason, chairman of the committee
in charge of the child. stated that she had
informed herself 50 far as possible in re-
gard to the feeling on the subject, and
found that the general opinion was that II
would be for the best interest of the child
to secure his adoption into Christian
family; that Mrs. Morris, who has so ten
derby CARED for him under the auspices OF
the union. had signified the desire of her
self and husband TO adopt him, and she
thought the best good of the child would
be attained by transferring our obligations
10 them.
Mrs. J. B. Morris assented 70 Mrs. Ma
sons statement, and said that il was
their wish to adopt HIM fully for better or
far worse that he should no longer be cal
led the w c. T. Z. baby in their care, but
their care, but their baby. After q free
discussion it was unanimously voted that
Mrs Norris kind proposal be accepted.
Voluntary prayer was offered by Mrs.
Thomas that God would ever follow the
little one with His choicest blessings, and
bless all our babies.
A very pleasant variation in the order
of exercises occurred in the early part of
the meeting by delegation from the
church of Friends, presenting the society
with a check for SIS, as a token of their
appreciation of the Importance of our work
in the temperance cause.
Mrs. H. H. fuller was elected a member
of the board of directors, to fill the vacancy
caused by Mrs. Moultons resignation.
Mrs. H. F. Mills, Mrs. NJ. j. Elliot, Mrs
E. NJ Way and Mrs. J. F. Mcnamara were
welcomed as new members.
Mrs. Naomi Anderson gave notice that
there would be temperance meeting held
in the Baptist church on Wichita Street
next Monday evening at $50 P. IN. TO which
all are invited.
